Nancy (and Steve) Lindsay wrote a sympathy message

“Dear Karen and family, I am so very sorry to hear about Dr. Franks passing! Though he had only been my dentist for a few years, I felt like I was coming to see friends every time I came, because that was the way you and Dr. Franks made everyone feel. He was so skilled and reassuring. And if that didn’t relax you, there was his humming and singing. ☺️ I am so sad that hIs life on Earth has ended, but I am most sure that he is singing with the Saints. Sending love and prayers, Nancy Lindsay”

Gail Merritt wrote a sympathy message

“Karen, I don’t know if you’ll remember me. I’m Gail Harris (Merritt). Your sister, Susan, and I were friends during high school and at BYU. I’m sorry about Alan’s passing. And Susan’s. I think John decker told me about Susan. Just know I’m thinking about you. Alan used to be my dentist for a while. It’s kind of ironic … I used to think he was kind of old. And now I read that he was born in 1938, my husband’s age! Gail”
